    Sure its is. Russia has the keys so they can snoop. Its encrypted though so just the kremlin can read it. Enjoy.

    Its funny how what is out there can’t be comprehended by those who only see what they want to see. If he wasn’t in putins pocket he would have fell out a window by now. The rest is just a sad song and dance that the weak minded buy into.

        Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s Arrest Upends Kremlin Military Communications https://tech.slashdot.org/story/24/08/26/2233226/telegram-ceo-pavel-durovs-arrest-upends-kremlin-military-communications I’m sure its nice with your head in the sand but it doesn’t make any of you right.
        The idea that any of them are secure is a pipe dream.

      Durov has been blacklisted in Russia because he refused to cooperate with Putin’s government on several occasions.

      Aha that’s why telegram is banned and blocked in Russia

        Wasn’t it unblocked again soon after?

          It was “blocked” for 2 years, though there was a problem accessing it for only a month or so as Telegram developers implemented ways to avoid the ban. In 2 years the government officials decided that Telegram made enough effort to block extremist materials to remove themselves from the embarrassment. Now they probably think “why didn’t we trick Durov to visit us and just arrest him like France did”.

              I don’t see any agreement possible just because Russia had literally nothing to offer to Telegram.

                  But the ban was only somewhat effective for like a month, then Telegram found a way to avoid it. In two years no one even felt like it was banned. So what could Russia offer to Telegram? Literally nothing.
